Like many previous guests, we did not meet John, which we found a little impersonal. We've always met every other AirBnB host, which is a nice touch to get to know a local where you are staying. That being said, though, he was very responsive with e-mail both before and during our stay. There were a few issues upon arrival (cleanliness of apartment, burnt out lightbulb, limited toilet paper), which were all corrected within the hour. Although not expected, when I requested a hairdryer, one was delivered. So, while we did not meet our host, he was very detailed with instructions and did everything possible to ensure we had a pleasant stay. The location is great near a few good restaurants, and its only about a 8 minute walk to Lumphini station, which was convenient for getting around town.
